Security issues fixed:
* Fixes CVE-2015-4625, a local privilege escalation due to predictable
authentication session cookie values. Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google
Project Zero for reporting this issue. For the future, authentication
agents are encouraged to use PolkitAgentSession instead of using the
D-Bus agent response API directly. (bsc#935119)
* Fixes CVE-2015-3256, various memory corruption vulnerabilities in use of
the JavaScript interpreter, possibly leading to local privilege
escalation. (bsc#943816)
* Fixes CVE-2015-3255, a memory corruption vulnerability in handling
duplicate action IDs, possibly leading to local privilege escalation.
Thanks to Laurent Bigonville for reporting this issue. (bsc#939246)
* Fixes CVE-2015-3218, which allowed any local user to crash polkitd.
Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Project Zero, for reporting this issue.
(bsc#933922)
Other issues fixed:
* On systemd-213 and later, the 'active' state is shared across all
sessions of an user, instead of being tracked separately.
* pkexec, when not given a program to execute, runs the users shell by
default.
* Fixed shutdown problems on powerpc64le (bsc#950114)
* polkit had a memory leak (bsc#912889)");
